The Echo Isles
Loading screen from The Founding of Durotar.
The Echo Isles [64, 85] are a handful of small islands off the southeastern coast of Durotar. For a while, the Darkspear trolls lived here, but when the Kul Tiras fleet attacked their land, they had to flee. They evacuated with the help of the Mok'Nathal Rexxar.
After the Third War, when the Horde settled in Durotar, Thrall made these islands off the southern tip available to the Darkspears. Recently, a Darkspear troll named Zalazane decided that his brethren did not need the orcs as allies and began practicing necromancy. He drove the Horde-loyal Darkspears off of the islands, converted followers, and created the zombies who now inhabit the Echo Isles.
While numerous attempts have been made to oust Zalazane and reclaim the islands, his forces are too numerous compared to the weakened Darkspear tribe. They now live on the coast of mainland Durotar in Sen'jin Village, in the Valley of Spirits within Orgrimmar, and in other scattered parts of Azeroth.
Popular in World of Warcraft as a low-level training ground and as a taming ground for any hunters wanting raptor or cat pets.
